When Chrysler released the "new" third-generation Hemi engine in 2003, the automotive public placed high expectations on the Hemi’s triumphant return. The Hemi Gen III 5.7L, 6.1L, and 6.2L supercharged and 6.4L engines didn’t disappoint; they produced copious amounts of horsepower and torque while delivering exceptional durability. These powerful engines occupy the engine bays of new Challengers, Chargers, Magnums, 300C, Durangos, Jeep Grand Cherokees, and Ram trucks. Many of these engines have been used for high-performance service or logged hundreds of thousands of road miles, and as a result, many need to be rebuilt.

He also explains how to integrate the engine wiring harness to the chassis wiring harness and install the EFI system componentry, including the electric fuel pump, high-pressure lines, fuel filters, and other parts. In addition, you are shown how to install drive-by-wire pedals and how to upgrade springs, shocks, and sway bars for a fully sorted high-performance Hemi. All parts adapting and retrofitting is thoroughly covered.

You don't want to waste time, and you want the best performance for your dollar.
